Wing Mirrors

[Ozzy_UK]

So mine look like total crap... anyone know if i can buy complete replacement wing mirrors for less than the cost of a whole car?
(everyone seems to want like £200 a side!)

does anyone know what they are from, and if the rubber surrounds can be bought separately (as thats really the only issue...)

many thanks again.

Anybody know why the mirrors for a left hand drive car are different? Can understand if the right mirror on a rhd Excel had a blindspot part but it hasnt

Also u need to check part numbers as they might be later mirrors/covers
Theres 2 part no for the same side mirror
